HOMICIDE DETECTIVES INVESTIGATE NEAR BARONA

EAST COUNTY 
San Diego police homicide detectives were investigating Wednesday night the discovery of a body off Wildcat Canyon Road, about five miles east of the Barona Resort & Casino.

Homicide Lt. Jorge Duran said the body “may or may not” be related to the case of a missing 79-year-old woman. Mehria Mansury was last seen about 8 a.m. Sept. 24 at her Serra Mesa home, where she lived with her daughter.

Duran said he could not say whether the body was that of a man or a woman, but it was believed to have been at the spot for some time. San Diego detectives said they were alerted to the body by sheriff’s officials.

A Barona security officer said a woman’s body was found about 3:35 p.m. by the sheriff’s search and rescue team.
